We present new multiband CCD photometry for WZ Cyg made on 22 nights in two observing seasons of 2007 and 2008. Our light-curve synthesis indicates that the system is in poor thermal contact with a fill-out factor of 4.8% and a temperature difference of 1447K. Including our 40 timing measurements, a total of 371 times of minimum light spanning more than 112yr were used for a period study. Detailed analysis of the O-C diagram showed that the orbital period has varied by a combination of an upward parabola and a sinusoid.

Description:
We determined the basic parameters, such as the central black hole mass (M), the boosting factor (or Doppler factor) ({delta}) the propagation angle ({Phi}) and the distance along the axis to the site of {gamma}-ray production (d) for 23 {gamma}-ray-loud blazars using their available variability timescales.
In this paper, a sample of 451 blazars (193 flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), 258 BL Lacertae objects) with corresponding X-ray and Fermi {gamma}-ray data is compiled to investigate the correlation both between the X-ray spectral index and the {gamma}-ray spectral index and between the spectral index and the luminosity, and to compare the spectral indexes {alpha}_X_, {alpha}_{gamma}_, {alpha}_X{gamma}_, and {alpha}_{gamma}X{gamma}_ for different subclasses. We also investigated the correlation between the X-ray and the {gamma}-ray luminosity.
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs)
are extragalactic objects characterized by extremely complex physical processes
and strong temporal flux variability over almost the whole electromagnetic
spectrum, which play a very important role in studying the formation and
evolution of galaxies, cosmology and many other astrophysical problems.
Flux variability is one of the most remarkable observational characteristics
of AGNs and the variability time scales are from minutes to dozens of years.
Multi-wavelength flux monitoring is the main means to study the nature of AGN flux variability.
In order to systematically study the total flux variability of AGNs in radio band,
we launched a long-term program, which is called the quasi- Simultaneous Multiwavelength
Monitoring of AGNs with the Nanshan 26-m radio telescope of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO),
namely SMMAN program. The monitoring data were acquired monthly with the cross-scan mode at
C-band (4.8 GHz) and K-band (23.6 GHz) for a sample of about 100 AGNs selected from Fermi-LAT suvery.
Additionally, we also conducted weekly monitoring observations or Intra-Day Vairibility (IDV)
observations for some of flaring Blazars to reveal their more complex variability time scales.
A plain positional crossmatch service that allows file and URL uploads
to be crossmatched to DC-internal tables. In general, you want to use
TAP for this kind of thing when it is available, but in a pinch it
might come in handy. Larger catalogues that can be matched against
include GAIA,PPMXL,ATNF Pulsar Catalog, and more.
The pulsar timing data were obtained with the Nanshan 25M radio telescope. Our observations, which commenced in January 2000, have been made using a dual-channel room-temperature receiver with a bandwidth of 320 MHz centered at 1540 MHz before June 2002. The de-dispersion was provided by a 2X128X2.5 MHz analog filter-bank. A cryogenic receiver was mounted in July 2002, which increases the sensitivity to 0.5 mJy. In January 2010, a digital filter-bank (DFB) system came into operation. The higher time resolution allows us to monitor about 280 pulsars, including ten millisecond-pulsars (MSP). The format of the DFB data is "Psrfit". The "psrchive" program could reads and analyzes the data.
Timing observations of 74 pulsars have been regularly carried out between 2002 July to 2009 December. These 74 pulsars have been monitored approximately once every 9d using a dual-channel cryogenic system that receives orthogonal linear polarizations at the central observing frequency of 1540 MHz. The folded profiles obtained are released in format PSRFITS for timing analysis, the file name extension is .FTp. Users can enter "~*.FTp*" in "Product key" filed to search and download it.

The molecular spectrum lines data include mainly ammonia and water masers lines at 1.3cm band,
as well as formaldehyde and recombination lines at 6cm band observed towards both our Galactic
plane and nearby molecular clouds and star-forming regions.
We present photometric redshifts for 1,031 X-ray sources in the X-ATLAS field using the machine-learning technique TPZ. X-ATLAS covers 7.1 deg2 observed with XMM-Newton within the Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) of the H-ATLAS field, making it one of the largest contiguous areas of the sky with both XMM-Newton and Herschel coverage. All of the sources have available SDSS photometry, while 810 additionally have mid-IR and/or near-IR photometry. A spectroscopic sample of 5,157 sources primarily in the XMM/XXL field, but also from several X-ray surveys and the SDSS DR13 redshift catalogue, was used to train the algorithm. Our analysis reveals that the algorithm performs best when the sources are split, based on their optical morphology, into point-like and extended sources. Optical photometry alone is not enough to estimate accurate photometric redshifts, but the results greatly improve when at least mid-IR photometry is added in the training process. In particular, our measurements show that the estimated photometric redshifts for the X-ray sources of the training sample have a normalized absolute median deviation, nmadh0.06, and a percentage of outliers, {eta}=10-14%, depending upon whether the sources are extended or point like. Our final catalogue contains photometric redshifts for 933 out of the 1,031 X-ray sources with a median redshift of 0.9.
We present an essentially complete, all-sky, X-ray flux-limited sample of 242 Abell clusters of galaxies (six of which are double) compiled from ROSAT All-Sky Survey data. Our sample is uncontaminated in the sense that systems featuring prominent X-ray point sources such as AGN or foreground stars have been removed. The sample is limited to high Galactic latitudes (|b|>=20{deg}), the nominal redshift range of the ACO catalogue of z<=0.2, and X-ray fluxes above 5.0x10^-12^erg/cm^2^/s in the 0.1-2.4keV band. Owing to the X-ray flux limit, our sample consists, at intermediate and high redshifts, exclusively of very X-ray-luminous clusters. Since the latter tend to be also optically rich, the sample is not affected by the optical selection effects and, in particular, not by the volume incompleteness known to be present in the Abell and ACO catalogues for richness class 0 and 1 clusters. Our sample is the largest X-ray flux-limited sample of galaxy clusters compiled to date and will allow investigations of unprecedented statistical quality into the properties and distribution of rich clusters in the local Universe.
